After arriving home from such a long and tiring day, you were ready to kick the covers over and head to bed. Laying in your warm comfy bed, you heaved a sigh thinking about everything that had happened today. The one thing that you couldn't seem to get over was, STEPHANIE!! Where was Stephanie when Mark had the chance to be with her, where was she? You wanted to know, even if the answer would end up hurting you more, you still wanted to know.

The entire day, your phone went crazy with messages from all the members and Mark included but the entire day after you guys had fought, you didn't want to even acknowledge his existence. Even though everywhere you were and no matter who you were with your head and heart was filled with Mark. You hated him for making you love him even more, without even doing anything. He made you fall deeper and every time you hated his guts for his hasty actions towards you he always manages to bring you back to heaven on earth. Drifting off to sleep you didn't know that you would receive a message that will leave your heart breathless.

**CHIME**   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Your side:    *SHAKE* "YAH WAKE UP! It's gonna start soon~"    You were soundlessly sleeping when you heard a piercing voice enter your eardrums, feeling a pair of hands pry you up off your bed. With one eye squinted, you see your beloved friend, who you would have loved to punch if you had more strength in you at that moment. Smiling at you widely, she kept tugging at you to get up.   "Come on! We're gonna miss it, if you don't get up NOW~~" You were still half asleep and peering at her cluelessly.    "What the heck are you talking about? Do you know what time it is, its still dark outside *points to the window*...and how the heck did you get in my house?" All these questions flowed out of your mouth as she finally released her grip on you and headed for the laptop on your desk.   "Oh. your mom let me in." She swiftly replied while walking back to your bed and plopping down next to you with the laptop in hand. You sprawled back down and ignored her, not really caring as you just wanted to go back to bed.    "What are you doing here anyways?" You asked now a bit curious, with eyes still shut, trying to cast the light out of your eyes.    "LIVE STREAM~" She excitedly stated trying to keep calm as your eyes shot open, confusion rushing over you.   "Live stream? You came over here for live stream, SERIOUSLY?? You..." Before you could even ask more questions she had instantly cut you off.   "Hey check the time. I can't seem to find the clock on here." Annoyed and totally lost at what she was talking about, you pulled your phone over from the nightstand and...   Mark: I should be sleeping but I MISS YOU. :(   Your heart almost died at that very moment, for the first time in your life. Mark, the person that you couldn't stop thinking about ever since you had met him, the person who invaded your heart without asking permission. The one who made your heart flutter just by a simple message. You were staring at a mere dream, your eyes were deceiving you as you felt a rush collide inside of you. Your heart started to race and then it shook your heart was trembling. The emotions of this one just this one message could make you feel like the world had stopped moving, as you could hear your heartbeats endlessly pounding inside of you.    "What happened?" Your friend looked a bit concerned seeing you react oddly to something as she glanced over at your phone.    "You do know today is their Special SHOWCASE right? You were the one that told me about it and to come watch it with you, did you seriously forget?" She eyed you and smirked a little seeing the cute message that Mark had sent you, as your eyes grew double in size. You had seriously forgotten about the showcase due to everything that had occurred but you had promised the members that you would be watching.   Mark's Side:   Mark didn't know when he had fallen asleep but when he woke up, 3 hours felt like 10 minutes as he was dead tired still. The 7 boys got up at around 1 in the afternoon as they hurriedly got ready heading to their last rehearsal before the showcase started.     Mark couldn't help but peer at his phone every chance he could get. He knew you were asleep but his heart tugged at him, hoping for a miracle that you would somehow reply. He honestly missed you, and he admitted it. You ignoring him for a mere day drove him INSANE, somehow just the thought of you made his temperature rise and he hated that feeling, that feeling he never felt before until he met you.    During their run through of the show Mark had made quite a few mistakes and the members definitely noticed, aside from being tired, something else was causing him to loose concentration and that something they knew, had to be you.    "Even though she is STRAIGHT UP IGNORING YOU, I'm sure she's gonna respond to you at some point." Jackson stated trying to cheer Mark but everyone ended up shooting daggers at him for rubbing more salt into Mark's open wound.    "Mark hyung~~`don't feel too bad, Noona didn't talk to us either." BamBam swung an arm around Mark as everyone nodded agreeingly. All Mark did was stay silent like his usual self, but only this time his eyes were missing its spark. They finished up rehearsals rather diligently and headed straight into hair and make-up.   All dolled up with a stylish set of clothes, the boys were ready and pretty pumped about the show now. Chatting among themselves in their waiting room, the boys were greeted by friends and family. Mark's parents, Joey and Stephanie had arrived and were chatting with the other families, as well as the members. JYP, the trainees that have been there with the boys from the beginning, 2pm, Wonder Girls, SunMi and Miss-A were all there for support as well.   "Mark oppa, I know you'll do great, like you always do!! GOOD LUCK! *Hwaiting!*" Suzy noticed that Mark wasn't really talking to anyone, so she thoughtfully greeted him and wished him luck, as she patted him on the back lightly.    "Where's our, GOOD LUCK eh~?" JB and the others came over seeing Suzy smile warmly and wishing everyone luck as well! Off to the side, Stephanie seemed to be a little annoyed seeing Suzy being so touchy feely with Mark. In fact there were lots of females surrounding Mark and the other members as well, not that she didn't know that everyone there was close to the boys but it really bothered her.    "It's not good for you to frown like that, you'll end up with wrinkles." Jackson bluntly stated while chuckling at Stephanie, who was startled to see him next to her all of a sudden.    Everyone had gotten their chance to greet the boys as it was almost time for the show to start, they all exited out and got to their seats. The boys had a few more minutes to prepare themselves as they all gathered around in a circle. The members knew that Mark was still feeling down, even though he plastered a smile on his face the entire afternoon...   *chime* Hearing Mark's phone go off the members immediately eyed him, hoping and praying that it was from you and that Mark will soon get his "soul" back and do well during the show.    You: Good luck on the showcase and be-careful, don't get hurt!:)   Mark's face suddenly lit up, even with a simple "hi" he would have been content but seeing your caring words, his heart couldn't seem to hide its feelings, racing in the speed of light and he somehow felt whole again. It didn't make sense to him, but that's how it felt like at that very moment.    "GOT7 LETS GO~~" One of the staff members yelled while everyone quickly gathered themselves again and did their ritual chant before heading to the stage. Mark didn't have time to reply to you but he couldn't stop smiling after that. And the SPECIAL SHOWCASE OFFICIALLY STARTED!!!!!! Even though the members didn't see who or what the message had said, they knew the moment that Mark smiled whole heartedly. that it was YOU.   Your Side:   Placing your phone down, you suddenly felt butterflies in your stomach; why? You had no idea but it was a good feeling that you didn't want to end. Even though you felt like you might regret it later, giving in so easily. It just felt right; as a smile appeared on your face.   "I'm glad you're feeling better." Your friend noticed your smile as your cheeks started to blush a shade of pink. The showcase had started, as you both watched intently. Even though you tried keep an eye on all 7 of them, your eyes always seem to wander towards Mark. Every move he made, your heart fluttered in ways you never knew it could, every-time he was close to the screen, you heart gave out little by little. Mark's voice made you weak, the person who has captured your heart completely, made you feel so captivated to the point where it hurt. A heart ache with so much emotion. Lost in your thoughts you didn't seem to notice that the boys had cleared the stage as Miss A took to the show now.   *Chime Chime* Suddenly your phone went off, you froze not sure if you were seeing things as your eyes were glued to the screen. Seeing Mark's name. Your heart raced and pounded so hard that you swore you were having a heart attack.    "I know you wanna talk to him, so stop hesitating." You friend grinned mischievously while grabbing your phone and answering it for you. You frantically tried to stop her after realizing what she had already done, it was too late now seeing 7 handsome boys waving at the 2 of you cheerfully.   "Annyeong~~We meet again!!" Your friend happily greeted them as you merely stayed silent.   "Eh...you speak Korean too?" Jackson asked your friend as her eyes nearly popped out seeing her beloved bias speaking to her.   *Chuckle* "I speak Korean because I am Korean." She cooed shyly, trying hard not to pass out right then and there.   **SILENCE**   Seeing Mark's smile made you blush shyly and for the first time you were really really nervous not being able to look at him. Just knowing that he was looking at you, your heart couldn't seem to handle that fact, were you even breathing? You couldn't seem to answer. It just felt like your whole body stopped functioning. You couldn't look at him, couldn't face him after what he had said. You were scared, scared that if you looked at him just once; that the message would become a mere lie. And you didn't want it to be a lie. a joke because you really did missed him too.    For the first time Mark and you were quiet, no bickering what so ever and honestly it got the members frightened. They didn't know how it became so awkward between the two of you all of a sudden, since they didn't know about Mark's late night message to you. They glanced at one another trying to figure out what to say or do.   "Uh, OH WE ARE WATCHING THE SHOWCASE LIVE STREAM RIGHT NOW~" Your friend blurted out trying to lighten up the atmosphere a bit.   "REALLY!!!? How are we doing Noonas? Hopefully we did okay so far?" Yugyeom spoke up sheepishly smiling at the two of you.   "NEH~ You boys are AMAZING!" She instantly replied as you finally had enough courage to face the screen nodding lightly. Your heart ended its torment and came to a halt after your eyes' met Mark's gaze.    "GOT7 ON STANDBY!!" You heard a voice calling out in the background
